ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 6. Kazakhstan has
launched construction of the republican highway “Saryagash City
Bypass” in the Turkestan region, Trend reports via the Ministry of Transport
The ministry noted that the bypass will redirect transit traffic
away from the city, reduce pressure on the urban road network, and
significantly speed up travel towards Uzbekistan. The project
involves building a modern I-a category highway with four lanes,
stretching 102.6 kilometers.
In addition to the Saryagash bypass, road modernization work is
actively underway across the Turkestan region. Currently, the
length of republican highways totals 678 kilometers. Five major and
medium repair projects covering 99.2 km are being implemented,
including reconstruction of transport interchanges and bridges on
key routes connecting Kazakhstan with neighboring countries.
This year, five additional medium repair projects covering 103
km are planned on the Shymkent–Kyzylorda highway, including the
installation of automated traffic control systems, which will
improve the efficiency of the region’s transport
infrastructure.
